Quilter, Longarmer

I’ve been quilting for 15 years—hard to believe it’s been that long! My quilting journey began on a whim when, just one month before Christmas, I decided to learn how to quilt (and sew) so I could make quilts for my nieces and nephews.

​

That month, I made six quilts—and I haven’t stopped since.

​

Like many hobbies, my time and focus ebbed and flowed over the years, until I finished Nefertiti (pictured) and brought her to The Quilt Store for backing. That visit changed the trajectory of my quilting career. The shop’s owner, Dawna, offered me a job and introduced me to longarm quilting.

​

I’ve been working at The Quilt Store in Broomfield for the past two years (and still do), where I learned to operate the very longarm I now own—Gerta the Gammill! During my time at the shop, I’ve quilted hundreds of quilts in a wide range of sizes and styles, each presenting its own technical challenges. I’m well versed on this machine and confident that you’ll love your quilt when it leaves my studio.

​

To me, quilting is a world of endless possibilities—color, texture, movement, theme, and design. I’m continually inspired by my clients and love collaborating with them to bring their visions to life.
